region who was kidnapped few weeks ago has been released
The now free Reverend Ignatius Kattey has debunked claims by the
Rivers State Police Command that it came to his rescue when he was
kidnapped. Archbishop Kattey, who is the Dean of the Nigerian
Anglican Communion, disclosed this on Wednesday during a press
briefing at Eleme, Rivers State saying:
"The police did not rescue me. They were not the ones who rescued my
wife, Beatrice. I saw the police for the first time two days ago since
the incident. I have heard the statements made by the Rivers PPRO. The
police are telling lies. If you cannot trust the police again, then
who can you trust? I told the Commissioner of Police and he has
apologised. I know they made efforts but they did not rescue me and my
wife. A helicopter flew over the area more than 500 times, but the
boys (kidnappers) were smarter. They held me with them in a thick
forest and no one could see me there.
On the day of my release (Saturday, Sepember14), they moved me and we
trekked a number of kilometers till we got to a road. Then they gave
me N200 and ordered me to walk to the direction where I could get a
bike.
We thank God for His mercies because I wouldn't even wish my enemy to
go through that experience.I was not tortured. They fed me with fast
food once a day, sometimes with boli. They tied and chained my legs,
but one of them said you can't chain this man. I slept on the ground.
I was beaten by rain and mosquitoes like them for up to seven days.
Iam an old man of 65 years. I had no choice than to stay and swim in
the forest with them".
Thank God for his safe release.
